Molecular Characterization of a Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Strain R46 Isolated from a Rabbit by Fei Wu, Yuanyuan Ying, Min Yin, Yi Jiang, Chongyang Wu, Changrui Qian, Qianqian Chen, Kai Shen, Cong Cheng, Licheng Zhu, Kewei Li, Teng Xu, Qiyu Bao, Junwan Lu

“…To investigate the mechanisms of multiple resistance and the horizontal transfer of resistance genes in animal pathogens, we characterized the molecular structures of the resistance gene-related sequences in a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain R46 isolated from a rabbit. Molecular cloning was performed to clone the resistance genes, and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were measured to determine the resistance characteristics of the cloned genes and related strains. …”
